“The funniest thing about the Halloweentown franchise is reading reviews of the reboot which had a different cast:
People are PISSED. This is like beyond Star Wars reboot pissed, beyond Ghostbusters reboot pissed, people are out for blood over there. Watch yourself.
What’s weird about this movie is that we never really find out why Mom is so opposed to witchcraft and Halloweentown shenanigans. I thought we were going to learn a dark secret or something, like you have to kill your mom in order to become a full witch or eat a baby or something, but it turns out Mom is just a total buzzkill who is allergic to fun.
But it’s a cute movie, and if you don’t have nostalgia goggles for either, it equals the Halloween vibes of Hocus Pocus. Fuck you, I said what I said.”
